Have a look at the size limits of the overall Exchange server database file. If a client is hitting the .pst file limits for an individual mailbox, there could swiftly be issues with a combination of users having similar stuff.

You'll be better off educating users that email isn't really the way to handle regular large attachments. You should be looking at some sort of web sharing ftp process, perhaps a remote access to a central server? You can also look at various mailbox management techniques to ensure deleted files are deleted on Outlook shutdown. I've set up my Outlook users to have a .pst file on a server, from which their outlook clients are set to autoarchive every few days. The .pst thus relieves load of less current documents from exchange, and yet users can still have access from in outlook.
